The Separated


... and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
-Revelation 5:9.

God has called every believer to Himself and separated from the world. We are separated from family's, traditions, nativity, state and even nation. We are now heavenly citizens as ambassadors on the earth.
Remember, when Jesus was speaking to his disciples and the mother came desiring to speak to him?
Matt.12:46-49 "While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!"  Also in Mark 3:31-35.
Another clear example is Abraham. Gen.12:1 "Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:" but Gen.12:4 said lot went with him. We all saw that Abraham life never saw the promised breakthrough until Lot departed or separated from Abraham, it was then that God ask Abraham to lift up his eyes.
Gen. 13:14-15. "And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever." Thereafter blessings, blessings and more blessings.

We must understand that we have obligation to relations i.e sibling, parents etc. But we must be more conscious of our spiritual stand and obligation. For example Jesus didn't separate himself totally from his siblings. James and John worked with him throughout, but not just as sibling.
We must be able to separate the two. If, we must live a triumphant life here and now. More grace!

EXIGENCY

  You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Amos 3:2.  Ever wondered how come so and so did such and got away with it, but when you attempted it, you got cut and punished for it? There could be chances you are separated to God as a chosen vessel [not certainly, but likely]. "if yes" , as a result, you can't do what you like, only what is permitted. The society have drifted to the place where people don't talk about purpose anymore except their individualistic goals. Well, if you came from God, He already has a plan for you, it is suppose to be your primary assignment in life to discover it. Not to ignore it, in pursuit of your own self centered aspirations, it may not go down well. Some of the reasons you were probably rejected in certain areas in life is not because you aren't qualified, but because you're out of place. When God chose Abram, he didn't succeed in anything else even at 75yrs...

The Needful or Obvious Pt.1

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. - Luke 10:41-42. Nobody just happened, we are created for specific purpose. Everybody cannot be head, or leg, or hand etc., each and everyone most identify their place and stay there, thus makeup the body system. The leg cannot say the hand is not performing its functions adequately, as a result, he will take its functions over. The leg would be led by the obvious and abuse its own purpose instead, why? He was not created to perform the function of the hand. When these things are properly understood, it will help us to gain speed towards the fulfillment of our purpose. Everyone will give account of his or her stewardship, when the time comes, what will be your report, when all that you have been doing is the obvious(somebody else's assignment), and ignoring yours or ...
